Kara Pound wrote a 'lil article 'bout yours truly for the newest issue of "Inked". I often spend the day thinking about how wonderful I am. It's fun to have a change of pace and get to READ about how wonderful I am too!

Buttons!What a hip 'n happenin' way for us young generation to express ourselves! Be it with an inspirational phrase or a pithy fun loving' put down or telling the world our likes (kittens) to dislikes (war), buttons say it all! They look great running up and down colorful suspenders or all over your faux tuxedo t-shirt! Parent's will just shake their heads as we take it to the free speech streets, so get out of our way Mr. and Mrs. Fuddy Duddy, 'cause we're commin' through!

Just to throw it out there, the gawking at these fascinating women is because of the juxtaposition of their unconventional looks and poses marketed on 'tingle my loins' pornography. If it weren't for that, I (and we) wouldn't be pointing our fingers and giggling if they were our neighbors (unless they dressed like that in the front yard).Thus endeth my afterschool very special episode Mitch moral lesson of the day.Now I can go back to tying tin cans to my cat's tail. Look at him run all funny! HA! HA! HA!

The personality plus pin-up parade finally reaches it's crowning moment, but what to give the winner?We thought, what is every girl's dream and every woman's desire?To be "Mrs. Mitch O'Connell" of course! That why the winner will be given the prestigious honorary title of "Mrs. Mitch O'Connell" for a year!

Leo decides he's going to travel from the bathroom to the living room couch. His rules are that he must shimmy the whole way on his back and travel under every piece of furniture we own.Don't ask me why!Just a little slice of everyday life in the O'Connell household!On your mark, get set, GO!

Since I just covered up a few peek a boo's on my postings, I wanted to get your opinions. What's sexier, these hot bear beauties with their naughty nips hidden under flimsy fabric, or, do you think it would be even more "oh my" if they were as nature intended- furry and fancy free?

The super site of what's hip, Boing Boing, turns out is run by a fellow I shared a high school art class with! He has generously traded me a banner ad on the BB site for one of my doodles, and, even more generously, new best pal Dan Noe whipped up a 'lil flash animation banner!http://www.noedesign.com/dev/moc/

Speaking of High School, I can hear all the ladies jumping up and down squealing, "Can we see a photo of you?!""Please, I'm very busy and don't have time for such foolishness!" I sternly respond."Pretty please?" (and they make that damn irresistible pouty big eyed face)My angry expression just melts away, "Oh... all right!"

Speaking of women, this time specifically of the lovely variety, I recommend The Belmont Burlesque Revue hosted by Jack Midnight. Saturday nights at midnight put your rear end down at The Playground Theatre @ 3209 N. Halsted here in Chicago and prepare to be rib tickled and titillated!

FYI I hate to disagree with the medical profession, but apparently medication and liquor DO mix! A year or so back while on a heaping helping of antidepressants (divorce), I was also washing them down that particular evening with a little what have you. I passed out within a minute of the show starting and Jack (aka http://www.facebook.com/pr

ofile.php?id=100000527558527&ref=ts) took the oppurnitity to serenade my unconscious body with a couple 'ol Blue Eye standards. I wish I had a tape!PS Long off the prescriptions and have remained quite alert for every Belmont Burlesque show since!

I've seen (and purchased) very many pin-ups where beautiful women are the norm. Suddenly, when your tastes run to the odd, that rare nugget of a woman with an undefinable something special becomes the most treasured possession. Here are a few of the personality plus gals from the M.O'C archives!

Ladies often say to me, "Mitch, can I buy you another drink?" and "Your writing is so clever and creative, how did you learn to be so ... so ... AMAZING?!""That's a great question, sexy blue eyes", I respond in my whispery deep voice. "Why don't we go back to my apartment to ... discuss it?"Needless to say, I never got around to answering her question (wink), but I will tell you!I didn't "learn" to be so amazing, I was BORN with the ability to weave words, write humorous hyperbole and pen pithy phrases. I believe this early example of my genius will easily attest to that fact...

You'd think that after coming up with the creative outside the box title "Super Heroes" these comic creators would have just kicked back and spent the next 8 hours 'till quitting time back slapping each other on a job well done.But not these bad boys!The thinking caps were kept firmly in place, chins were stroked and a triumphant finger was raised.What's the number one menace to society that, until now, musclebound crime fighters have yet to kick the ass of?
